Karine,

re: Politechnique guys abandonning the women... Your comment is really ridiculous. Are you serious? I'm sorry, but a man shooting an automatic rifle, the only thing a man will defend are his wife and children (or rather partner and children).. everyone else is on their own as well. When someone has a gun, expecting non-weapon holding people to intervene is just plain ridiculous. The world isn't full of hollywood heroes, it's full of normal people who very often think about their own lives before the lives of others and there is nothing wrong with that.

Capital punishment would just be giving him what he wants. And now people are leaving comments saying that we should no longer allow immigrants to come to Canada because the killer was from China. People are so silly.

[...] situations when the number of comments simply gets out of hand. The decapitation-on-a-bus story I talked about earlier now has 1,700 comments, most of which are repetitive. Has anyone read them [...]

Whoever did this should swallow 20 tasers while they on.

And THIS guy wasn't accidentally tasered to death?

I thought the human race was beyond killing each other out of so called justice
don't get me wrong this was discusting and horrific but there must be a better solution than execution

Ok, I just read an article on the subject. Have you ever driven from Edmonton to Winnipeg? That is enough to make anyone go crazy, especially on a Greyhound.

1. Big guy with a big knife? Throw the women and children at him so you can get off.

2. Death penalty? If you believe in god and all that stuff then it is up to him to pass judgement not us. However, if the jury is willing to perform the execution themselves then go ahead.

3.Should we allow concealed weapons on buses? Maybe, but them we would be talking about the crazy guy who shot a guy to death instead of the guy that stabbed a guy to death

4. Should police have shot to kill once they got on scene? Whatever, the cops can do what they want we can't stop them, maybe if we had option 3 we might but until then...

5.Should we install metal detectors in bus terminals? If someone want to stab/blow up/poison/shoot/nuke or whatever on a plane or bus they are going to find a way, no metal detector or any other fancy or dumb security you can think of is going to stop them.

6. Fark/Digg/Redit/any internet commenters aren't worth the time you or I spent on this post.

I am one of those who blame the Polytechnique guys for abandoning the women to their fate but in this case, I really don't know what the other passengers should have done.

I can't wait to see which CSI or Law & Order: CI will have this storyline first. CSI: Las Vegas did have a Robert Pickton reference (along with man eating pigs) this season and L&O did do a Paul Bernardo story...
